About Me

All posts at damienwillis.com are written by Damien Willis

Picture of Damien WillisI’ve had an entrepreneurial mindset for as long as I can remember, which is something i can thank my dad for. From as early as 12, 13 years of age I was looking for ways of making money. I can remember setting up a stand at the entrance of a busy park, selling grapefruit off of my backyard tree. I even employed my friends to help out (don’t worry – I paid them). Later on I would do a dog walking run among other things before going on to selling on eBay as a Gold Powerseller.

During the Christmas holidays of ’06 I made the decision to get into Network Marketing. I had seen my dad become successful in the industry and I wanted a piece of the action.

So in January ’07 at the age of 20, I officially became a Network Marketer and I was excited!

As I soon found out, Network Marketing was not as straightforward as all of those persuasive videos made it appear. I was spending too much on leads, was hopeless on the phone and just couldn’t  sponsor someone to save my life. I soon became overwhelmed and was worried about the constant drain on my bank account. I didn’t know what I was doing and didn’t have a clue how to fix it.

Unfortunately I had to quit before I could find my feet – I had literally spent myself out of the industry after a mere 3 months! I felt like a failure. Oh well, back to ebay.

Two and a bit years later I caught the Network Marketing bug again and just couldn’t resist. But I wasn’t going to make the same mistakes twice. I was going to keep my marketing costs down this time. I wanted to stay in the game long enough to acquire the skills and knowledge required to succeed – I had to work on me before I could truly start building my business.

The problem was, I didn’t know how to do this. How could I market and generate a meaningful amount of leads without spending a lot of  money? Luckily I was fortunate enough to stumble onto a system created by a group of marketing geniuses that had everything that I needed in the one place. This has proved to be a godsend and if I hadn’t found it you would not be reading this, that I am sure of.

I have 3 missions in life (for now:)). To continue my self development and become the best that I can be. To send my brother around the world so that he can chase his dream of becoming a tennis professional (he has way more talent and skill than I ever did). Finally, I want to help others who have the determination and desire to achieve success in this industry. I know what it’s like to have the drive but not know the way – it sucks.

Hi Damien, found your site by accident, but very interesting. I too am hooked on Network Marketing , love the residual income. Tried 2 product based companies, and products were good, but as fast as I would build, people couldn't afford to stay on autoship due to the economy (In Canada) I wasn't looking, it found me. Just wonder if I could get your straight-shooting opinion (which I like, by the way). Company just started in May 2010.called Momentis.in Canada, now opening quickly in U.S. Thanks, good to talk with you in the land down under.Jackie

That link didn't work for me Jackie. From the little information I gathered it seems like a legitimate company but can't comment on its long term future.
